You can assign static IP address to machines in your network versus using the random DHCP served one (100-254).
- From your browser (Internet Explorer, FireFox, etc) enter http://hda/hosts. This is a rough interface at the moment, but it gets the job done.
- Host: system name (webcam, kitchenpc, pvr, etc)
- Mac: MAC address for the system (i.e. 00:0E:0C:60:8F:2A). Ensure you remove the / before entering the MAC and that you use colons (:), not dashes (-). Note that your MAC address can be obtained by using ipconfig /all in Windows, or from your HDA with the arp command at the HDA prompt.
- Address: Last number in the IP address (111.111.111.xxx) range (i.e. 32, 43, 110, etc). It cannot be the same as the hda server.
- Select Create to complete.
- At the HDA command line (any user - no need to be root) enter hdactl-hup.
- Release and acquire a new lease for the machine with the new IP address. In windows, ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew.
